LC/MS/MS stands for liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. LC/MS/MS provides identification of the target compound(s) based on characteristic parent/daughter ion fragmentation patterns at specific retention times. When liquid chromatography is suitable for separation of compounds, LC/MS/MS can provide significantly greater sensitivity than GC/MS. Korva Labs employs LC/MS/MS for the identification of substances in “white powders” – such as when certification of dietary supplements – and for certain compounds in urine where GC/MS is not sufficient.

Shimadzu GC/MS 2010SE

GC/MS stands for gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. GC/MS provides identification of the target compound(s) based on characteristic fragmentation patterns at specific retention times. Korva Labs uses GC/MS for the detection of most banned substances in urine. GC/MS is particularly important in evaluating endogenous steroid profiles.
